Sourcing

Please note that Wikipedia pages should not be cited as reference souces, this can introduce circular references, and besides, Wikipedia does not consider itself to be a reliable source. Links to other Wikipedia pages do not substitute for proper citations to reliable reference sources. Note also that "Interview with Vladimir Bukovsky (in Russian)" does not say who intreviewed him or where this was published or broadcast. Perhaps this was a link in the RU Wikipedia, but it isn't here, and the URL is not present (this is one reason why bare URLs are not good cites). I can't read Russian, so i don't know if "Galina Akkerman, Vladimir Maximov: Галина Аккерман. Владимир Максимов — судьбы скрещенья" ncludes proper bibliographic info. If it does, please provide a translation sufficient for the source to be identifiable. DES ^(talk) 17:31, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Bukovsky interview now specifies publication details, title, date etc of the interview. The Akkerman article about Vladimir Maximov will soon have similar references. Voronov (talk) 19:35, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Voronov. While additional cites would be good, this gives at least a basic level of verifibility. DES ^(talk) 20:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll find what I can. It may be the individuals were and remained far more important than a shadowy organisation that, in Bukovsky's words, had modest achievements though grand ambitions ... Voronov (talk) 14:42, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Voronov. While it is probably truse that the individuals involved are more important than this comparatively short-lived organization, and justly will have longer and more detailed articles, if we are to have an article about the organization at all, we must support controversial or non-obvious statements in that article, to the best degree possible.

The other organisations mentioned in the Bukovsky entry are all well documented (The Gratitude Foundation, Human Rights Foundation, Cato Institute). As concerns Resistance International I think it may well make better sense to delete the independent Wiki page I created and, instead, include a little detail about Resistance International, and its successor the American Foundation for REsistance International (the galaxy of right-wing politicians and commentators that supported it, for example), in footnotes to the Wiki entries about Vladimir Bukovsky and Eduard Kuznetsov, rather than provide a full-blown page for this ephemeral and shadowy body. Voronov (talk) 09:27, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On further investigation I have found sources, online and in book form, that support the statements in this article and justify its independent existence as a Wikipedia entry. As one source comments, Resistance International went out of business before the internet and even email became common, so it is a useful contribution to preserve a brief record of its activities. Voronov (talk) 03:59, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Categories have now been added and there is sufficient verified detail, compared to some of the pages examined while compiling this, to justify its existence as an independent entry. Voronov (talk) 14:04, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ideology?

Soviet & Soviet block dissidents already covered a wide range, the UK Tory was probably even further out toward liberal conservatorism, so what united them other than being anti-"realexistierender Sozialismus"? Or that was it? Not dealt with in the article, and it must be. Neo-Nazis, any non-Soviet imperialists, White Russian monarchists, etc. were all anti-Soviet and had close to nothing in common. Thanks.
